      My dad gifted me this young crimson queen Japanese maple about a month ago and has already grown a good 4-5". Using a 50/50 mix of succulent soil and traditional outdoor planting mix. Potted for now as we're unsure if we'll move over the next couple of years.

        Thank you! I’ve been in this house for six years and always wondered how old it is. It’s between 8’ to 10’ tall

                Getting ready to sell this house and this flower bed was the bane of my existence. Had to call in reinforcements for some help but finally got it looking decent.

                      That looks fantastic, and it’s also such a great outdoor space!

                        I needed a place to store my shovels and hoes but have very little space. Introducing the garden closet! Shallow and wide to fit the space. I built it to match my 1920s Craftsman-style house. Doors coming soon.

                          Looks great either way!

                                  Safe to say our plants didn't fair well against last night's supercell. The trees didn't either. Glad I picked the Raspberry's in the morning.

                                    @derek111 I feel your pain man we’ve had loads of storm damage this year too. Weird to say that last pic is pretty with the rainbow in the background considering the downed tree.

                                      @derek111 Glad you guys are ok…been there myself and know how unsettling it is. Important thing is that no one was hurt.

                                      Hope the recovery back to normal is swift.

                                        @SKT right! It's mother nature's way of saying sorry haha.

                                        @goosehd all good! The pooches got a good scare, but all is well. Just some clean up to do.
